Change log file for Exim from version 4.21
-------------------------------------------
still happens during the routing process, since they are not going to be
routed further.
+PH/38 Installed a patch from Ian Freislich, with the agreement of Tom Kistner.
+ It corrects a timeout issue with spamd. This is Ian's comment: "The
+ background is that sometimes spamd either never reads data from a
+ connection it has accepted, or it never writes response data. The exiscan
+ spam.[ch] uses a 3600 second timeout on spamd socket reads, further, it
+ blindly assumes that writes won't block so it may never time out."
+
A note about Exim versions 4.44 and 4.50
